Tesco has introduced some new in-store safety measures to keep customers and staff safe during the coronavirus pandemic.

The store had already been enforcing a number of social distancing rules, including queue markers to help consumers stand two metres apart.

In an email sent to shoppers, Tesco Group CEO, Dave Lewis, has revealed some new policies that are being introduced, MyLondon reports.

Tesco are going a step further to keep its customers and staff safe by introducing one-way aisles in stores as well as a one-in, one-out system for those wanting to shop.

In an attempt to encourage customers to shop as infrequently as possible, the store is also upping the contactless card limit from £30 to £45 so shoppers spending a bit more money can do so quickly and easily.
